You will just work the long tube through a little at a time until it all is through. Truthfully, just getting it started sometimes is enough, then a wooden dowel or whatever you normally use to smooth the tube from the inside will finish the job easily. <br />Best to you!Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546288621924817904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405836715997521412.post-70144771278554518182013-05-01T08:08:35.951-04:002013-05-01T08:08:35.951-04:00Hi :- Can you tell me if the turning tool needs to...Hi :- Can you tell me if the turning tool needs to be longer than the tube you want turned?

This works ok at a pinch but there are two major issues with this home made system that I have not found with the bought version.<br />1. The straws do not last long and are all the same size. Some smaller straws do have the strength/thickness to cope with this treatment but no straw lasts longer than one toy, two if I am really careful.<br />2. It takes a lot of effort to get the tip of the skewer right so that it doesn't catch threads, poke through the material or break the stitching.<br />Like I said, I have made lots of miniatures and this tool has changed the way I make my miniatures and how much time they take.Mhairihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401605359488793236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405836715997521412.post-62704658780394281932013-04-10T18:49:16.242-04:002013-04-10T18:49:16.242-04:00I've never seen one before!
